I’ve been working on the second plot-bomb section, very slowly until today because it had gone cold.\u00a0 Today it warmed up and got all hot and bubbly and crispy at the edges.\u00a0 \u00a0 And threw new surprises at me.\u00a0\u00a0 That was who?\u00a0\u00a0 Why did that other have a long split in the boot upper but no injury under it? \u00a0 Why did the who that was do what he did?\u00a0 Why did the other….?\u00a0 Etc.<\/p>\n
Over 2000 words today.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I ate too\u00a0 much supper too late after that.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
This is one I really must not tell you anything about, because it comes near the end of the last book–almost two books away from where you are now.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow…another 2-3000 words should at least get it down in first-draft form.<\/p>\n
(The first plot-bomb from last week comes earlier in the book.\u00a0 It may even be nudged up to the beginning, because it could make a good opening chapter.)<\/p>\n
Still, it can’t be snippeted either, at least until I run out of side-stories and Limits of Power<\/em> snippets.\u00a0 Just too far ahead of\u00a0 the current situation.\u00a0\u00a0 I will say that both of these plotbombs, which appear to have remote forward connections, maybe,\u00a0 are going to be waving-at-the-future loose ends.\u00a0 There’s not going to be room in this book to tie them up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, the whole Paksworld universe is throwing things at me, now that I’m in the home stretch of the five-book arc,\u00a0 and reminding me that I’ve never dealt with…or this…or that other thing…and maybe…NO, I say loudly.\u00a0\u00a0 Not NOW.\u00a0 Now is for Book V, getting this particular arc completed and tied off.\u00a0 NOT for starting new ones.\u00a0\u00a0 To the characters who are crowding onstage, all in costume, I’m saying No, no, casting is complete, clear the stage, I’ll talk to you after this production IF YOU CLEAR THE STAGE.\u00a0 NOW!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been working on the second plot-bomb section, very slowly until today because it had gone cold.\u00a0 Today it warmed up and got all hot and bubbly and crispy at the edges.\u00a0 \u00a0 And threw new surprises at me.\u00a0\u00a0 That was who?\u00a0\u00a0 Why did that other have a long split in the boot upper but […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[20,107],"class_list":["post-1550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-writing-life","tag-progress-report","tag-the-writing-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1551,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550\/revisions\/1551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
